“Out Comes Butch,” grew out of a series of improvisations that Schein originally performed in Berkeley, CA. Schein toured “Butch” to London and Glasgow with Whoopi Goldberg and also to Amsterdam, Calgary, New York City and many other venues in the US and Canada. “Out Comes Butch” was published in West Coast Plays and has been produced by various theaters in the USA.

while the language is star-struck, as sweet and
beautiful as “points and specs of light against a
deep black and blue universe.”
